Tax and Duty Charges


The South Korean Customs Service requires that all applicable duties and taxes must be paid for shipments entering South Korea. By placing an order with Akademiks.com, you agree to pay the duties and taxes charged at the time of delivery. Customs duty and Value-Added Tax (VAT) will be payable, as follows:

  • Customs duty – Typically 12-20% of product price (based on product characteristics)
  • Tax – Typically 19% of product price (based on province)
  • Advancement Fees – FedEx fee for processing of duties/fees (currently $8.00 USD)

Due to our broad selection of clothing, footwear, and accessories it is difficult to estimate an exact figure for duty costs. Remember that all prices on the site are in U.S. dollars.

For further assistance in understanding and estimating taxes and duties contact The South Korea Customs Service by phone at 82-42-472-2120 or by fax at 82-42- 481-7655.
